We placed my husband in Ashley Manor – Rimrock Facility. It was a nightmare.He wound up in the emergency room and I brought him home after. I will not take him back there. They oversold their facility, they misled us in so many ways, and I think that’s deplorable. The facility itself was nice, the people were nice, but they just did not do what they said they would do. They had bedrooms for everybody, some double rooms, and some single rooms. Each room had a toilet and a sink. They have community showers. The facility was adequate, but they did not have the staff they claimed they did, and they were not feeding him appropriately. The meals were not nutritious. There were a lot of carbohydrates, very little protein, no fresh fruits or vegetables, and it was all canned. They said they did hydrotherapy twice a day, but he did not like water, so they were giving him Kool-Aid. (read less)
